Question

According to the Declaration, in which ways did the king deny the colonists “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”?

Answer 1

Mainly, making laws and rule with a local government.

Step-by-step explanation:

This idea of taking part in the government of the nation was impulsed with economic motivation too. Because colonists had to pay to the crown taxes, which meant less money for them.

Also, this also brought the idea of making laws, because they realised that, at the end, they weren't free for the loyalty they had to pay to the crown. So, this meant that they weren't a free nation at all.

Answer 2

They were not allowed to create their own laws/rules, exchange trade with other countries in the world, and kept a strong army surrounding them even in times of peace/no war - without consent.
